What should I know about safety edge and photocell repairs in Cleethorpes?

After a repair, the door is tested to check it stops or reverses on obstruction before it's handed back.
Photocells can often be added to doors that only have a safety edge, if the control box allows it.
Replacement safety edges and photocell pairs have fitted prices, agreed before the visit is booked.
A pressure-sensitive safety edge on the bottom rail stops or reverses the door when it touches something while closing.

Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.

An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in England some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.

Safety edge and photocell repairs in Cleethorpes: questions

Do you charge more for Cleethorpes than other towns in Lincolnshire?

Do you cover Cleethorpes?

How much is a visit in Cleethorpes?

Prices for safety edge and photocell repairs start from £99 inc VAT, and the price is agreed before anyone comes out. Any parts not covered by that price are quoted before they are fitted, so you can decide on the spot. The guide prices are the same in Cleethorpes as elsewhere we cover.

Can I get a price for Cleethorpes without anyone visiting?

Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.

Do you repair safety devices on any make of roller door?

Yes. We repair and replace safety edges and photocells on electric roller garage doors of any make, provided compatible parts are available for the control box. We don't work on sectional or up-and-over doors. If a compatible part isn't available, we'll explain the options before anything is booked.

How do I test my safety edge and photocells?

Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your door. In general, the test checks that the door stops or reverses when the safety edge meets an obstruction while closing, and that the door won't close while the photocell beam is broken. Keep people and pets clear while testing, and repeat the test monthly.
